Together

Because there are over 30,000 denominations we can but trust that the beauty of Christ is revealed​to the world in our diversity.

However, it is plain to see that our enemy is deceiving the world, by creating an illusion that is being interpreted not as diversity, but unattractive division.

Therefore we must show the world, that it is Jesus that unites His Church, and that He is infinitely greater and more relevant to us, then anything that appears to divide us.

Diversity is beautiful, but as we know very different to division, which is a progeny of sin and rebellion.

So for the sake of the lost, we must separate the two.

We know that Jesus came and served, we too then should have the mind of Christ, and be earnest in our desire to love and serve our brothers and sisters, and because of the love that lives in us, be accepting in that love, our doctrinal and ecumenical differences.

John 13:34 A new commandment I give to you, that you love one another; as I have loved you, that you also love one another. 35 By this all will know that you are My disciples, if you have love for one another.”

If we love and serve our brothers whose doctrine is different to ours, they and the lost world will see something their hearts cannot deny. Then the Holy Spirit will move through our actions of love, saying something that we are not able to put into words, nor convince with our arguments.

Mat 22:39Jesus said ‘You shall love your neighbor as yourself.

As someone once said:

"Feel the fear and do it anyway"

Our enemy shows us our division on the outer courts, then suggests the same violation flows deep down to the inner courts of our spiritual relationship with Christ, and each other.WHICH IS DOES NOT

But once we believe that it does, he then whispers to us, (as he always does) "This mountain of difficulty is too big for you, be dismayed and give up".

Are we not doing exactly as the army of Israel did in 1.Sam 17 by seeing this division as they saw their Goliath? Our God is the same God today,our God will deliver us from this giant just as easily.Our victory is guaranteed, but to receive it we must first go out and meet it.

Facing Your Goliath

So let us focus on the truth, satan is afraid of our unity, and he has a very, very good reason to be.

﻿There is no hiding the fact, or the evidence that this deception of division is hurting the army of God, and it's making all the difference to our effectiveness in reaching this lost and hopeless world, with the love of Jesus.

Is there a 'born again' Christian today who can argue against this fact?
